Lessons from a 17 Year Old Environmentalist + Animal Rights Activist; Hannah Testa Talks: Plastic Pollution, Climate Change and Saving the Planet, One Step at a Time!
Episode description
This week the sisters are joined by Hannah Testa, a dynamic 17 year old environmentalist, animal rights activist and honor student who has been “fighting for the planet and its future” since the age of 4!
Hannah has presented to thousands of adults and children across the world - as well as big businesses and governments on the local, state, and international level. She has used her influence to work with governmental leaders and business executives to develop more sustainable practices, influencing restaurants to reduce their plastic footprint, and partnering with politicians to propose legislation to protect Mother Earth.
During this conversation we discuss:
· How her activism was sparked at the age of 4
· Her journey to founding “Hannah 4 Change” at the age of 10
· Her work and activism around protecting endangered species (esp. rhinos & elephants)
· How she got comfortable speaking to large groups; advice for public speaking
· Handling criticism related to being an outspoken, young activist, vegan and woman of color
· Why we should care about plastic pollution and climate change and how we can individually make a difference
· How she balances activism with being a high school student!
